Man Like DeReiss And Welsh Nans Appear On BBC Breakfast
Man Like DeReiss and his new friends from Las Vegas, Lynn Crawford, Susie Matthews and Rose Sulley, got together to tell their story on BBC Breakfast.
DeReiss and the Welsh Nans were traveling to Las Vegas for different reasons, with DeReiss heading there for his independent wrestling bookings as part of WrestleMania week, and the Nans going to scatter the ashes of a Rose’s late husband.
On the plane, the seating was messed up, but Susie needed help adjusting her seat. DeReiss obliged, leading to a conversation, and DeReiss invited them to Joey Janela’s Spreak Break. To his surprise, they attended, and the rest is history.
